Dear knowledgeable ones,

After having a little hunt for the alternative to metatool I found the
SMC. (/usr/sbin/smc). I prefer the shell, but sometimes I need a good
visual overview of what I'm doing with discs.

However, the SMC won't let me log in as root, or any other user but root
is the only useful one. The last time I used this GUI was early last
year, and root password has changed many times since then. I am
definably entering the correct password; I Have checked this over ten
times.

daemon.error] Consecutive login fails from host "fred" with client
identifier "fred9124787".

Perhaps, as a work-around, is there anywhere I can d/l and install
metatool for Sol9 from? It wrote the vfstab as well afterwards, and I
don't think the SMC does this.

Best regards,
S.
